Grain Rain is not only a solar term. The farmers here use it as an alarm clock. When farming is done, it all depends on it.

Grain Rain is a solar term, and there are many things about Grain Rain, such as tea before Ming Dynasty and tea before rain, among which the tea before rain is the tea picked by Grain Rain before.

In Banqiaotou Township, Jixi County, Anhui Province, there is another agricultural proverb about Grain Rain-Valley rain, grain seeds are in the water.

What does that mean?

Banqiaotou Township is the hometown of farming. Jixi has said that "one is firewood and two is rice" since ancient times.

The division of the capital should begin from the Yuan Dynasty, when it was equivalent to the current township level, and Banqiaotou Township is the location of the two capitals, so it can be seen that the farming of Banqiaotou Township has a long history.

The farming season varies from place to place, and there was no Gregorian calendar at that time. If farming is arranged according to the lunar calendar, it is likely to be delayed because of inaccuracy, so farmers in Erdu have the skill of determining the farming season by solar terms.

Grain Rain season, the temperature is slowly higher, Rain Water is also more.

The cultivation of rice fields needs water, and for a mountainous town, spring rain is the guarantee of farming, so farmers pay close attention to ploughing rice seedlings and sowing grain seeds.

At that time, most of the rural areas had to grow wheat, and the wheat in the south of the Yangtze River was fully harvested in Lesser Fullness of Grain's solar terms. They just finished harvesting the wheat and arranged the wheat fields so that they could transplant rice seedlings in time for Grain in Beard. From Grain Rain's grain seed water to Grain in Beard's 45-day seedling transplanting age, the ancients had no last resort for farming.

Now there are fewer farmers, and many young people know nothing about solar terms.

This kind of agricultural proverb is only said by the older generation of farmers sometimes in small talk.
